PZtoday©’s wholly impractical DIY for bored-out-of-your-face amusement

She’s Paris’ answer to Blue Peter! PZ Opassuksatit is the all-making, all-designing woman behind PZtoday©. Get messy with her latest project, exclusively for The Face.

PZtoday© sells design and concept for a living. It makes your lives easier – more fruitful, more fun. Did you ever think you needed a champagne glass candle? Or a necktie which advertises whether you’re single or taken? Or a shimmering bag shaped like a swan? No, us neither.

PZ Opassuksatit is the Thailand-born designer-cum-scientist behind the experimental laboratory” based in Paris. She does image design, art direction, visual merchandising, object design and concept selling. (All that and she still found time to answer our questions.)

In the midst of snooty Parisian air kisses (mwah, mwah!), escargot (snails to you), and priceless art (Mona Lisa), Opassuksatit’s subversive eye has landed her work with luxury clients including Helmut Lang, Dover Street Market and Virgil Abloh.

Now though, and like many of us, the mysterious 29-year-old is in isolation. With time to reflect, PZ realised she misses cuddles. Aww.

Since being isolated and alone at home for seven weeks now, I miss hugs more than ever,” she says. I miss drinking outside and asking hot strangers for a lighter.”

Naturally this thought led to her latest project, created exclusively for The Face. The Guide Through Your Quarantine” guides you through… your quarantine, but in typical PZ style. Never Mind the Toolbox – this is wholly impractical DIY for bored-out-of-your-face amusement.
